INK-RESERVOIR FOR PAPER RULING MACHINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 298,735, dated May 20,1884.

(No model.)

To ctZZ whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, EDWARD P. DoNNELL, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State ofIllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inInk-Reservoirs for Paper-Ruling Machines, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to improvements in ink-holders for paper-rulingmachines; and it consists in the peculiar construction and arrangementof the same, substantially as will be hereinafter more fully described,and set forth in the claim.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which myinventionappcrtains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe itsconstruction and operation, referring to the accompanying drawings, inwhich Figure l'is a perspective view of part of a ruling-maehine havingmy invention applied. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of my ink-holder.

A represents the frame of a paper-ruling machine of any of thewell-known forms in common use; and B is a metal bar secured to theframe A by a bolt, a, and thu1nb-nut a, as shown, so that it may beturned to any desired position. The other end of thisbar Bis formedwitha socket, b, in which turnsastud, 0, upon the bottom of a shallowpan or box, 0, which I provide with a number of sockets, c, in which thereceptacles Dfor containing the ink are placed. The box may be made ofany desired form or size to contain the number and quantity of inksfound necessary. (I d are small posts secured within the pan 0, andformed with forked upper ends in which the brushes may be placed toretain them in place when not being used.

The device thus described is very simple, cheap, and handy, may berevolved and moved to any convenient position and swung entirely outsidethe frame of the machine for filling and cleaning, while one or more ofthe receptacles or dishes can be removed and others substituted wheneverdesired.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In an ink-holder forpaper-ruling machines, the combination of the pan 0,provided with sockets c, the forked posts d d, and the receptacles D,substantially as shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I afiiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
